I just did some reading on this, and found:

http://blogs.gnome.org/desrt/2011/09/08/am_maintainer_mode-is-not-cool/

So, in what use-case is --disable-maintainer-mode useful nowadays ? All
it seems to do is to stop ensuring that Makefile are consistent with changes
to Makefile.am.

Thanks,

Mathieu
